Uo: celebrities “calling out” trump/conservatives/bad politics on their social media or already established and relatively safe platforms is um. How u say. Useless. Theyre influencing ppl sure, but not the ones that matter. Until they start putting real effort and time and MONEY!!! (Cant stress that enough!) to orgs and groups that are also doing real work to back up their “clapback” on twitter i dont wanna hear their bum ass performative opinions

She thinks that if she stares at the door any longer it might burst into flames.

“You’re going to wear a hole in the ground if you keep pacing like that,” says her mother from where she sat outside the doors to the chamber. She had the servants bring her a chair, where she sat, back straight and hands folded in her lap as they fanned her, offering fruits and wine every few minutes.

Her mother frowns as she takes in Clarke’s appearance. “Not to mention that you’re ruining your hair.”

“I don’t think my betrothed is going to withdraw the offer of marriage because my hair is a mess,” she scoffs, continuing to pace. Like her mother, she was also brought a chair to sit on but couldn’t find it in herself to be still for more than a few seconds, too jittery from nerves.

It’s strange that the contents of her very own marriage are being hammered out on the other side of that door and she isn’t even allowed to sit in the room.

Her father is in there, as well as her soon to be husband. Even Wells is in there alongside all their top advisors.

But then again, it wasn’t just marriage that the delegation from Illyria came to discuss. No, this was a tactical mission where both sides had something to gain. Tensions have been growing amongst the northern clans and though Arkadia is not directly part of the peace treaty, their alliances with the clans are too entangled to not be dragged into this mess eventually. And though Arkadia may be rich, its citizens happy and healthy with more than enough food and medicine to go around, its military won’t stand a chance against the bloodthirsty clans from the north.

Meanwhile Illyria has an army that’s half the size of Arkadia’s but nearly twenty times as powerful.

It’s a pretty straightforward deal. Arkadia gets military support and Illyria can finally stop implementing strict rations on to its people. Clarke’s marriage to the Illyrian king was just the pretty ribbon to hold it all together.

“Remember to smile whenever his attention is directed towards you,” her mother says, pouring herself a glass of wine. “And remember that you are to be seen, not heard. No man likes a wife with a loudmouth.”

“Mmm. And tell me mother, should I also agree to it when he insists on keeping his mistresses in the room next door? Should I forget the whole wedding entirely and just go up to his rooms and spread my legs? After all, I’m sure an heir would solidify this alliance more than any marriage could,” she says with a roll of her eyes.

“You insolent child,” her mother hisses, trying to swat at her. “You should be grateful that any king would want to marry you in your state, used and almost too old for him. At your age I was already married and with child.”

“Charming,” she says, flat, even though the words did sting a little. Her mother was right; at twenty, veering on twenty one, Clarke is old by royal standards. She should be grateful that despite her age and even after her past indiscretions, a king would still be willing to marry her.
